    Good stuff Nigel. Can we expect MW to make the audio versions available this year?

    Sorry, my filters were filtering away comments, which is why nothing has been approved lately…

    I don’t know. I didn’t hear IDG say anything about that this year. It was good them putting them all up last year.

  3. Jesse Reynolds Says:

    That’s really cool, thanks Nigel.

    Question, how does this stuff work in with puppet? Are you using puppet to run python scripts?

  4. nigel kersten Says:

    We do sometimes, yes. Python is our preferred language for sysadmin work, but if I need to hook into Puppet itself, I end up having to write Ruby (which I don’t happen to hate anywhere near as much as I used to)
